15. A good bioflick of Woody Gutherie's life is long overdue

The only one I could find was "Bound for Glory" from 1976 with David Carradine as Woody. It sort of disappeared because the other top movies that year were "Rocky", "Network", "All the President's Men" and "Taxi Driver."

According to the synopsis, it covered Woody's early life.
